I airbrushed and hand painted this baby kirin like a koi. I did a few of these, each one is different... you can see them all here: [link] This is a gypsum reproduction of my original sculpture produced by Windstone Editions. He is about 3 inches tall.

I simply adore the koi kirins and orientals. The idea was so fantastic, and all the designs you can get out of them is infinite, all of them gorgeous. I especially love the dark contrast between the black marking and the eye
